So did you guys search for the most obscure facts about celebrities? Because for several I thought, "That can't be true about them!" Then Googled it and yep, it's a true fact! (And I shamelessly used that realization in several of my conversations.)
everything is taken from "freebase", which i think was some kind of project to collectively write a huge database of all human knowledge, like a machine readable wikipedia i guess?

Feel like I got hit by the Foo Fighters tour bus as they left Milwaukee last night. And I didn't even drink at the concert! I think I can take a day off.

I hope the removed NDA content is that they were using it to program obscure celebrity facts into those robots from Boston Dynamics

It is randomly weird info, and I think some has to be incorrect. I can see why, before this was organized into such a digestible format, you were all "wth is this ?" Also, while most is true (like, did you know Jennifer Aniston was actually influenced by Telly Savalas? He was one of her dad's bffs...who knew?) most was info that had me scratching my head thinking, "So this is the information about this celebrity you want me to write about? Not one of these other four xyz things that are so well known?"

Anyway, you did a great job making the hits doable with the information. I could do many, many more as long as you don't mind the scenarios getting creative! (And, perhaps, don't mind a personal opinion or two creeping in as I pretend I am Person A.)

I kind of feel bad for all the complaining now
i haven't seen anything from cogswell yet. i'm guessing it's not likely to happen for me. i'll actually be shocked if i managed to earn a bonus off her hits. in the meantime i'm above my daily goal with a PE of $26.14 and hopefully that'll just keep going up through the rest of the day :D
